The fish leaping over the dragon gate, and it was a fish that had already leaped over the dragon gate. The meaning was naturally different.
Everyone in the country liked good luck. What was a fish leaping over the dragon gate? It was a dragon. Number 25 used this meaning. Moreover, it was not easy to support a fish that had leaped over the dragon gate, not to mention such a big fish. It would be even more difficult to support it.
However, he was still able to support it. It could be seen that he had put in a lot of effort.
The meaning was not bad and the image was not bad. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng's Golden Dragon Soars the Sky was in front of him. Gu Zheng's Golden Dragon was dynamic. The meaning of his fish leaping over the dragon gate was not bad, but unfortunately, it was only static. He could not make a dynamic fish leaping over the dragon gate.
Even so, it was already very outstanding.
In addition to number 25, Gu Zheng also paid attention to number 18, Zhao Fu.
If he won first place in this competition, not only would he win the bet with Sun Er, but he would also receive a huge reward from the weapon spirit. He did not know what the reward was, but if he wanted this reward, he would have to win against everyone.
Gu Zheng did not care about Sun Er at all. However, if he wanted to get first place, he had to win against this person. He had been first in the previous two rounds.
Zhao Fu was indeed worthy of being in the top ten of the last Chinese Delicacy Competition. The Chinese Delicacy Competition was getting more and more difficult each time, and there were more and more experts each time. Those who could be ranked in the recent years were all true experts, not to mention that Zhao Fu was in the top ten of the last competition and had participated in the finals for three consecutive years.
This person was Gu Zheng's biggest opponent.
Zhao Fu's first dish was tofu. Although the ingredients were simple, the method was not simple. The tender white tofu was added with several ingredients. In the end, the shaped tofu turned into two beautiful white swans. They swam in the water and raised their heads. It was lively and natural.
Zhao Fu had never cooked this dish before. The name was very simple. It was called goose, goose, goose.
This name easily reminded people of an ancient poem, an ancient poem that almost everyone knew. It was very appropriate and suitable for the occasion.
The 30 contestants had finished their matches, and the judges were done tasting the food. The director cut the camera to the host, and an advertisement was played in the middle. After that, it was time to announce the results of the first round.
Outside the venue, the number of people had increased. There were about 3,800 people. All of them were staring at the four big projector screens. Some of them were even praying that Gu Zheng would win and enter the top ten.
Gu Zheng had entered the finals in seventh place. As long as he could maintain this result, it would be considered a victory.
Five minutes later, the host reappeared on the screen. There was no big screen for the competition, so the final results were announced by the host.
"After two hours of intense competition, the final results have been confirmed. Next, it's the most nerve-wracking and anticipated moment. What do you want to know the most?"
The host drove the atmosphere. Not to mention the people in front of the TV, even the people at the scene were aroused by him. What did they want to know? Nonsense. Of course, they wanted to know who had advanced this time.
"Hu Haitao!"
The host suddenly announced a name, and a contestant who had advanced to the finals suddenly stood up with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Zhang Zhengtian!"
The host continued to announce, and another person was stunned. Then, the host did not stop. He announced twenty names in one breath before stopping. At this moment, everyone finally understood what was going on. Twenty people. It just so happened that the results were not announced. It seemed that these twenty people did not enter the top ten.
Especially Hu Haitao, who was the first to call him. He thought that his result was good, but he did not expect that he did not advance.
"Let's first congratulate these twenty masters. They have all achieved good results!"
The host took the lead and applauded, but the applause was not enthusiastic. These twenty people were not qualified to enter the next round. It would be strange if they responded to him with good results.
Seeing that the response was not enthusiastic, the host immediately picked up the microphone and announced loudly, "Liu Lin, Yang Weijian, Zhang Dongliang, Gu Zheng, Zhao Fu, Sun Er, Wang Zhen … Congratulations to all masters for advancing to the next round!"
This time, the host called out ten names. These ten people were all contestants who had successfully advanced to the next round. Next, the ten contestants would go through another round of competition. The top three would stay, while the bottom seven would go to the audience like the previous twenty contestants.
The specific results were not announced. The top ten would compete again, and then the total results of the two rounds would be used to determine the ranking.
"He actually advanced!"
Sun Er frowned. The name he didn't want to hear the most was Gu Zheng's name. If Gu Zheng didn't advance, then he would have won the bet, and he would be able to humiliate this young brat who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually dared to have ideas about his family's century-old soup.
Unfortunately, he did not get what he wanted. Although he had successfully advanced, Gu Zheng had also advanced, which meant that they had to compete again.
"A group of idiots. How did they stop him? Fortunately, I was well prepared!"
Sun Er cursed in his heart. Several people had said that they wanted to snipe Gu Zheng, but they did not advance. Now they were sitting in the audience. These people were really unreliable. They could not even snipe a young man. What a failure.
However, Gu Zheng could only go so far. The next ten people were all famous chefs in the country. Gu Zheng could not continue to win. Next, the tenth place was destined to belong to Gu Zheng.
It was a pity that he had entered the top ten. It was really unpleasant.
While Sun Er was thinking, there was a burst of cheers outside the venue. Gu Zheng was on the list of advancement. Gu Zheng did not let them down and successfully advanced to the top ten.
Many people were very happy. Entering the top ten was already a great victory.
As for the first place mentioned by Gu Zheng, many people had this expectation. However, they also understood how difficult it was to get first place. As long as Gu Zheng worked hard and entered the top ten, they would be very satisfied.
After the top ten were announced, the live television broadcast was temporarily suspended. The second round of the competition was in the afternoon. The contestants were also humans. They needed to rest and eat lunch.
The judges would also eat, but they would only eat a little. In fact, they had eaten a lot in the morning. This time, they mainly drank some porridge to nourish their stomachs.
In the afternoon, they re-entered the venue. The competition stage had been cleaned and rearranged. There were only ten competition tables on the stage. The ten contestants who had advanced were also ready. They walked onto the stage with their assistants.
Those who could enter the finals were not bad. The previous thirty dishes were very tasty. However, there was still a difference between the strong and the strong. In the judges' hearts, most of them were staring at the people they thought highly of.
Why was the first round of the competition the most important? It was not only because the results of the competition would be accumulated in the end. More importantly, it would leave an impression in the judges' hearts. If this impression was left, they would be more or less biased when giving the score.
In a battle between experts, even 0.01 points could affect the overall outcome of the battle, not to mention a single point.
